Why can’t gasoline be stored in plastic containers?

294 views

I saw a mid-covid video back when gasoline prices were soaring of someone dumping gallons of gasoline in a giant plastic tub (to save money or something) but people in the comments claimed it would fall apart. I searched it up and gasoline does break down plastic but I can’t figure out why. Is it because they’re both carbon chains or something?

In Science we’re told that an element will also want to be with another element that shares its ‘life-cycle’. Now because gasoline and plastic are chronologically related, or that they share a life-cycle. Plastic has been gasoline, gasoline may one day turn into plastic, etc… What’s occurring then in a plastic container with gasoline has been compared to human feelings of nostalgia, and i think that’s sweet.

I hope that’s answered your question!
